The phase diagram of solid oxygen in the magnetic-field-temperature () plane is revealed by magnetization and magnetotransmission measurements. The high-field phase of solid oxygen, which we term thephase, is induced at the temperature below 42 K. The transition fields at theandtransitions are almost temperature independent, with the phase boundary being very steep. This phase boundary indicates that the entropy change is very small at theandtransitions, in contrast to the entropy-driventransition at zero field. We argue that thephase differs from the high-temperaturephase in terms of entropy; the molecular rotation is inhibited in thephase, whereas permitted in thephase. This finding consolidates the novelty of thephase.
